http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/studio-15-230px.jpgBest Buy already stocked up on the Core i5-equipped VAIO S (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/14/best-buy-lets-out-the-widi-enabled-sony-vaio-s-a-week-early/) and Satellite E205 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/19/toshibas-intel-wireless-display-equipped-satellite-e205-now-shi/), and now it seems that everyone else is following suit. Just weeks after Intel announced (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/04/intels-arrandale-and-clarkdale-cpus-get-benchmarked-for-your-en/) that it would be releasing Core i5 and Core i7 chips for the mobile realm, the usual suspects have already outed a number of refreshed rigs that include said slabs of silicon. Sony's 14-inch VAIO CW (http://www.engadget.com/tag/VAIOCW/) is now available from $829 with a mobile Core i3, while the $1,120 version ships with a Core i5, NVIDIA's GeForce GT 330M CPU and a Blu-ray combo drive. Dell has obliged by adding a 2.53GHz Core i5 to its 15-inch Studio (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/07/dell-introduces-inspiron-580-580s-studio-xps-8100-upgraded-s/) (available now for $999.99), and there's even a version that ships with Netgear's Push2TV (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Push2TV/) adapter for taking advantage of Intel Wireless Display (http://www.engadget.com/tag/IntelWirelessDisplay/) technology. Over on the desktop side, Acer hasn't wasted any time by updating its Aspire G Predator (http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/31/acers-aspire-predator-gaming-rig-gets-even-faster-stays-just-a/) with a sultry black shell (as opposed to the old orange one) and a 3.06GHz Core i7-950 processor, though the $3,185 MSRP should scare away all but the hardest of hardcore. Seen any others get the Core i5 / i7 bump?
